I did not see "Fifty Shades of Grey", what's the purpose.
My dad said, "Son when you buy paint or a box of crayons remember it's the primary colors that count: White, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow and Red.
You may purchase a box with 100 different shades of the basics, but at the end of the year; some will show use, others will never be touched and the basics will need to be replaced."
Hey, folks, come on. Many of us only see in black and white, many others in sharp pastels, I prefer to remain with the basics: a clean white approach to life (oh, I can already hear the collective PC gasp), a blue sky as I walk the Way (except in Galicia, of course), a bank balance in the black when I return, friends green with envy that I was in Spain while they froze back home, the yellow mustard seed trees that guide me along and, my red face when I tell my family..."This was not really my final Camino...maybe just one more...really:rolleyes:, I promise":D.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
When the book came out and everyone was talking about it I decided I didn't want to read it... so my husband sent me this in an email... he's a simple chap :cool:

This is absolutely true: out walking today we entered a beautiful Chapel of a Hermitage, a friend asked if anyone had a pen, she wanted to put an entry in the visitors book ? I said "there is a white pen sticking out of the pouch of my backpack! "
Another mate said "white won't be any use the paper's white in the book!" he's a simple chap too! :cool:

Fantastic David! Fifty Shades hits the Forum! Does this mean that we all need to take note of who has grey backpacks in the albergue dorms ...? ;)
Maybe the manufacturers of grey backpacks had a "foreseeing" eye !
I am gonna check out my grey Osprey Atmos now on how many shades of grey are on and in so I know if I will be suspicious in the next albergue.. And now I understand why my wife chose a blue backpack :p:D
